Anyone in England who wants to see 40 minutes of preview footage from the upcoming DVD version of this ride report, I have hastily thrown together some of the footage I have been working on for the DVD, some bits fully narrated, and some bits yet to be narrated, as Adventure-Spec is having a off road moto adventure film night in Hebden Bridge (W Yorkshire) this saturday night. Its actually a film preview night for two other films - Austin Vince's Mondo Sahara, northern UK premiere, and Graham Jarvis film - Erzberg the Hard Way.

Prior to the screening of those two main motorcycle films, and in the intermission between them, they will be showing the 40 minutes of selected clips from The Sibirsky Extreme Trail.

If you want to see Terry Brown wowing the locals in the discos with his dance moves, the beach thongs of Kiev, or Norwegians downing rum on the Vitim Bridge, your first view of it will be this Saturday night at Hebden Bridge Picture Theatre. This includes footage from the closed Chernobyl Exclusion zone, Ural Mountains, the stunning Altai AND about 20 minutes of great BAM Road and Road of Bones footage.

Great journeys you have shared, so inspiring! I have looked at photos of your bike and would like to know what exhaust you have on it in 2012? Does not appear to be OEM.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Ha.

There are over 134 pages dedicated to this bike only, hosted by Sir Walter himself. I am only about 30 pages in, I don't own an X Challenge.

We have seen some of those Russian driving skills.
When we were walking back to our hotel from a restaurant in Zmeinogorsk .
There was a HIGH speed police chase trough the town. With some cops in a Lada chasing a Lada !!!
This was so funny to see, both with roaring engines and screaming tires going 45km/h MAX

What a trip! Great crew. Best RR ever, it caused me some nice sleepless nights already and also it gave my GF reason to complain...
Discovered it only recently but already made it almost to page 100. I just can't wait to read it all and the other RRs too! I got a XC last summer and now I know what to do.

Hehe. I'll stay in the country this year, have promised my wife, we have 10 years wedding anniversary this summer.
Last year EtronX and I had a 2,5 week, 7400km trip to Kola Peninsula.
But right now it's snowing and cold here in Norway so I definitely need some inspiration to go exploring ;-)

I have read this road report from start to finish. It has been inspiring and sometimes scary :huh. While I don't see myself doing a huge of off road trip of this nature it has (in part) being the inspiration for a "pole to pole" trans America trip with a modified KLR 650. Keeping off the Pan American highway of course.
